Every time I sit on the futon in the bird room, at least half of them come over and stare at me like what do you want

Melon is so mad at me and will not come anywhere near me, but I think the antibiotics worked. No more wet bottom and watery poops!
I was curled up on the futon in the bird room and Queso waddled over and looked down at me like "what do?"
Warning for a little bit of gross I suppose. Melon was having very watery droppings. It was to the point that her underside was wet like you see in the first pictures. Took her to the vet where they did a gram stain after swabbing her poop. She's got a bacterial infection and will be on antibiotics.
Queso doing some sleepy, happy woos. Some backup from the other birds because everybody gotta be the center of attention always.
I put this misting fan in the bird room. Cockatiels seem to enjoy it I think.
Out at Big Gay Market in Albany's Washington Park today until 4! Come get some dice and meet Charlie! This is his first time at a market!
Here's the cockatiels mad that I don't have 3 hands for skritches. Let me pet Cookie! (Pierogi and Pooka were fine. They flew off to different parts of the room)
I've been trying to get the birds to come out of the bird room more. There's a few of them that don't like leaving it. Pierogi has to land everywhere he shouldn't, including the fan. And that fan is never on. Because birds. As is evidenced by the dust and cobwebs. So is a perch I guess.
"Just wearing glasses shouldn't be a disguise for Superman. That wouldn't work." Oh yeah? Well I just took off my glasses to clean them and Hurley bit my ear because I was suddenly a whole new person.
When you walk in the bird room and immediately have an audience above you and at least two birds on you.
So unfortunately Charlie still barbers/plucks this specific area about once a year. Usually around this time too. He has been to a vet about it before with no answers. The assumption is that it's hormonal. Have you ever had a bird do this?
Took the money from the bird tip box we got at the events I sold dice at and got some toys!
Posted the Blahaj dice on reddit and sold some! Thank you my fellow LGBTs. 🥺💖🫂 I was able to buy lots of bird food, bird treats, and a new vacuum after ours broke! I have some for preorder here cinniharpyscrafts.etsy.com/listing/4523...
I slept most of the day after working a long weekend. Now the rest of today is bird time
Pooka doing a whistle after a long day of selling dice! We'll be back in Albany's Washington Park tomorrow for Capital Pride, but Pooka is gonna skip this one. There's a chance of rain + one day of excitement per weekend is probably enough for her. Take a break Pooka-chu!
All set up for the BIPOC Pride event in Albany's Washington Park til 5 today! Pooka is here!
Don't you just wanna eat these? Pooka does. She's helping make some blahaj dice.
